The superstar turned 44 on Sunday, 27 December. To promote his forthcoming period film 'Veer', Salman has launched this show. Through the show, Salman wants to connect with the common people and search young men and women who have performed heroic deeds which the nation doesn’t know about.

According to a source, "Lately Salman has been going out of his way to connect with the masses. The idea to launch a contest on his birthday to search for unrecognised heroes came from Aamir Khan's recent connect-with-masses Bharat Darshan which he undertook as part of the promotion for ‘3 Idiots’."

The source added, "People close to Salman advised him to find a similar point of connectivity with the common man for Salman’s forthcoming film ‘Veer’. And what better occasion to show his affinity to the masses than his birthday?”

Salman is launching a contest to find real-life unsung heroes. Since he has played the hero so often on screen, he feels real-life heroes deserve to be brought out of anonymity. We’ll be going to the remotest corners of India to select these unknown heroes. Finally one of them will be given the ‘Veer’ cup personally by Salman at a function in Mumbai."

Salman is launching the show as his movie "Veer" is also about the bravery and courage of a Pindari soldiers who fight for Independence. The movie has been directed by Anil Sharma, along with Salman newcomer Zarine Khan is the main cast of the movie.

Review of “3-Idiots”

Cast: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Mona Singh and Boman Irani

Director: Raj Kumar Hirani

Producer: Vidhu Vinod Chopra

Rating: 4/5

Year's last blockbuster "3-Idiots" has already hit the theatres today. And after seeing the film I can easily say that the Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, is not away from making his hat trick. From last two years he is been releasing his films on 25th of December religiously. Two years back Aamir's "Tare Zamin Par" created a history. Again last year he recreated the same magic with "Ghazini", which also rocked on the box-office. This year, this Indian Santa brings "3-Idiots" for his fans.

The film is directed by Raj Kumar Hirani of "Munnabhai" fame. "3-Idiots" was promoted as based on Chetan Bhagat's "5 point someone". But the story has hardly any resemblance, except the backdrop of the engineering college. The film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Mona Singh and Boman Irani. The venture has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

I want to throw some light on the story. The story revolves around Ranchoddas Shaymaldas Chajaad played by Aamir Khan who leaves college all of a sudden. The flick starts with Farhan (R. Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) beginning a journey in search of their lost friend Ranchoddas aka Rancho.

The movie proceeds through narrations that take you into the flashback when Rancho, Farhan and Raju arrive at a premier engineering institute to begin their course. They were best of the friends. Rancho's mantra was 'I'll Do It On my Terms'. This mantra always inspired all three friends.

Raju Rastogi and Farhan Qureshi remembered Rancho's romantic relationship with Pia (Kareena Kapoor). Pia is the daughter of their college professor Mr. Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). They wondered about the disappearance of Rancho from the midst of the course without informing them.

Farhan, Raju are trying to locate him through their journey of Shimla, Manali, Ladakh etc. What happens to their quest and if they were able to find out the whereabouts of Rancho, is revealed in the later part of the flick. And, I am not going to reveal that.

Now, coming to the performances, nothing is enough to describe Aamir Khan's performance. He is a true genius. Once again he has proved himself. He is a true perfectionist. Madhavan is a great actor and his natural acting style makes him different from the other biggies. Sharman has proved himself by his brilliant performance in the flick. Raju Hirani's favorite Boman Irani is undoubtedly superb.

Well, we must mention Kareena Kapoor in the film. She has given her best in the film. She is a director's actor. Her outstanding performance in the film surprises everybody. She has revived "Geet" of "Jab We Met" in the film. This is Mona Singh's debut film. Her acting capability is not hidden from anyone. She is still remembered as "Jassi". But she should have gone for a better role for her debut. Her role is limited but she has marked her screen presence.

Music by Shantanu Moitra is pretty good. Audience has experienced a new fragrance of music. Over all it is a fun film and a good Christmas gift for all cinema lovers.

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Set for a TV Role

The late Pop Star Michael Jackson's doctor, who was suspected for involvement in Michael Jackson's death, is all set to star in a TV role. Reportedly, Dr. Conrad Murray has quit his private practice to work with a Thriller hit maker.

Investigators have suspected that the prescribed drug "Propofol" by the cardiologist could be the reason for superstar's sudden death.

According to a source, Murray has signed a deal with a British documentary crew to film his first day back at work in his Houston, Texas clinic last month (Nov09).

Reportedly, Murray was followed by a cameraman for the entire day to gather footage for a one-off TV special. It will air once the investigation into Jackson’s death is completed.

A spokesperson of Murray said that the production house was "interested in the reaction of patients to his return".

Murray has not yet been paid for his participation in the show. But he will get an unrevealed amount once the documentary airs.

Year's much–awaited film "3-Idiots" will be the first Bollywood film, which viewers can download legally. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer of the film has revealed that after 12 weeks from now viewers can download the film legally. He said, "This is the first film ever that you can actually download and watch on You Tube after 12 weeks from now".

This decision has been taken for those who can not afford a film in multiplex. Chopra said, "I’m providing this facility for those who can’t see it on big screen and watch pirated movies. I just want them to discourage pirated prints. They just need to wait for 12 weeks and after that they can legally download the movie and watch it".

He added, "Tomorrow if there is a facility to watch movies on mobile phones, the film will be available there but in appropriate time. We can’t harm our theatrical business by releasing at DTH".

"3-Idiots" is releasing today all over the world. The film is directed by Raj Kumar Hirani. The film's cast includes Aamir Khan, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

7 Deadly Tips on How to Attract Women

Have you ever thought why women spend so much time, effort and money to buy and put on stuff that would make them look pretty even when God has already made them so beautiful? Yes you guessed it right…to attract men. So when women are already looking to catch your attention, it should not be that hard a job to attract them.

So now that most things are in your favor, let us come straight to the point and tell you some sure shot ways of how to attract women.

Though we have already said that women on their part also look to attract the opposite sex, it is only the perfect men who end up having all the fun. But being perfect does not mean simply having good looks, rather it means being smart, intelligent, having a caring attitude and a good sense of humor.

1. If you want to attract a girl, the first thing to learn is how to make her believe that you are the perfect man. To do this you may have to go a bit out of your way and probably also fake some of your actions. For instance, even if you find her irresistibly beautiful, do not tell this to her immediately as controlling your emotions and even showing her a bit of disapproval initially will get her interested and attracted towards you. In short, trying not to attract her is the most basic principle of how to attract women. But be sure not to seem overtly unresponsive as it may give her wrong signals and make her feel that you are trying to ignore her.

2. Let her know that you are interested in being more than just friends and do that quickly because if you two become great friends and are stuck in that just friend's zone, it will be really hard to get out of that. I have rarely seen great friends getting into a relationship later in life as girls do not think like boys do and it is much harder for them to perceive a good friend as a potential sex partner.

3. Have self confidence and remember to show it in your actions. Whenever you go out with her, try to show that you have things in control. That is, act a bit dominant and command a high social status even if you are not that filthy rich.

4. Another thing to do is to make yourself a little harder to get. By being harder to get I mean you have to let her know that she is not the only thing in your life and that you also have other priorities that may sometimes take precedence over her. This will make you a challenge for her and that in turn will be a big attraction factor.

5. Most women like a bit of casual flirting. Rather than having all serious talk and making yourself look boring, it is advisable to indulge in playful talk. Besides, flirting is also a good way to let women know that you are interested in being more than just friends. But do not take flirting to a level that would make her think that you are just a flirt and do the same with every woman you meet.

6. Try to have a good sense of humor as most women like to be with men who can make them laugh and can make serious situations seem a little less tense.

7. Try not to be too predictable and keep her guessing all the time as it will keep freshness in your relationship for a long time.

We hope the above tips on how to attract women will help you guys in attracting that special someone.

The most expensive film till date has already hit the theaters. Yes we are talking about "Avatar". The film is directed by the famous director James Cameron. It has a grand opening and now everybody is eyeing its box-office collection report. Because films like "Avatar" are being made to break all box-office records and establish a new extreme line for the next.

"Avatar" sold a studio-estimated $232.2 million worth of tickets around the world this weekend. And it has become the ninth-biggest global debut of all time. Reportedly, the film’s $73-million domestic gross was, like every movie in the market. But the market has been significantly affected Saturday by snowstorms that kept East Coast audiences, from Washington, D.C., through New England, off the roads.

Grosses were noticeably lower in Washington, Philadelphia and Baltimore – as well as in New Orleans and Dallas. Though the film has received a huge opening on the box-office but it stood as the second biggest for December.

Perhaps more importantly, those who saw the movie enjoyed it. Every demographic gave "Avatar" an average grade of A. According to market research firm CinemaScore, those who didn’t turn out for opening weekend will be getting strong recommendations from those who did.

"Avatar" will be releasing in China by 2nd January 2010. It will be releasing in Japan this wednessday. These two big markets have a good share in the overall box office collections and “Avatar” could become the fifth movie to ever top $1 billion in worldwide box office.

Brittany Murphy’s Death Shocks Family and Fans

The young American actress Brittany Murphy died on Sunday, 20 December. Her family and fans are shocked by her sudden death due to cardiac arrest. Brittany was only 32 year old.

Brittany started her career at very young age of 14 but she came under limelight after doing teen comedy movie 'Clueless'. Brittany was once again appreciated for her role of rapper Eminem’s love interest in the movie '8 Mile'.

Murphy married British screenwriter Simon Monjack on May 2007. Brittany and Simon have a home in West Hollywood. On Sunday at around 8 am, the Los Angeles Fire Department received "a medical request" from their house.

Brittany apparently collapsed in bathroom. The officials of Fire Department took her to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead after two hours at 10:04 am due to cardiac arrest.

There were conflicting reports as to whether Murphy was discovered by Monjack or her mother.

Officer Norma Eisenman said that the Los Angeles police are investigating the cause of Murphy’s death. Investigators and coroner's officials are at Murphy's house as paparazzi camped outside.

According to the authorities, Murphy was taking prescription drugs for a variety of medical ailments and there are no preliminary indications that point to foul play.

An autopsy is planned for Tuesday, a coroner’s official said.

Brittany Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti who reached at his home in northern Florida, said he learned of her death Sunday morning from his son (Murphy’s half brother), who read it on the Internet.

In a phone interview Angelo Bertolotti said, "It's too shocking and too fast. It just doesn't make sense to me. As we speak I am staring at a picture of her. I just can't believe it. Can't convince myself she's gone."

Brittany's parents Angelo and Sharon Murphy divorced when she was only 4 years old. Angelo, who now works in the movie business, said he last saw his daughter about three years ago.

Bertolotti also said Brittany was very close to her mother, “They were inseparable.” He also said, "”She was a wonderful girl,” he said, “She worked hard to get where she was. I am absolutely broken up. I can’t get heads or tails of anything at this point. I am just trying to put the pieces together myself.”

Brittany was born on Nov. 10, 1977, in Atlanta and moved to Burbank with her mother when she was 13. She was appreciated for her performances in successful films, including 'Clueless' (1995); 'Girl, Interrupted' (1999); 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' (1999); 'Don’t Say a Word' and romantic comedy 'Just Married' (2003) with Ashton Kutcher.

Director Curtis Hanson, who worked with Murphy on '8 Mile' said “She was a very special and vulnerable person. The honesty of her emotions made it so that [her lines] didn’t feel like scripted dialogue."

On Sunday, Brittany's co star Ashton wrote a Twitter message saying, “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband & her amazing mother Sharon.”

Some reports say that Brittany left production before work was complete on her current project “The Caller.” That account was parodied on a recent “Saturday Night Live” episode.

Ozzy will spend the holiday season in the US with his family.

Ranbir’s “Rocket Singh” Fails to Please Audience

Bollywood's blue eyed boy, Ranbir Kapoor has failed to attract enough audience for his new film "Rocket Singh- Sales Man of the Year". The movie had a very high expectation as it is directed by Shimit Amin and written by Jaideep Sahani. The film can be considered as the comeback of the director/writer duo after "Chak De! India". "Chak De" is a rare example of a successful low budget film. The film was not only highly critically acclaimed but also collected sufficient revenues at the box-office.

Reportedly, "Rocket Singh" has been made under the budget of 5 crore. But it could not live up to the expectations. Amit Awasthi, the manager of Spice Cinema, Noida said, "'Rocket Singh' has not at all been satisfactory and done very bad business. The occupancy has fallen to 25 percent Monday from an average of just 68 percent over the weekend". He added, "The content is not being appreciated, as the second half is being called very slow and dull and the climax is being considered to be not at all satisfactory".

Yogesh Raizada, the Corporate Head of the Wave Cinemas has commented the same thing. He said, "The movie lacks mass appeal – audiences could not associate with it considering its content on sales guys, etc. So, the weekend was only average but not up to expectations."

He concluded by saying, "The weekend was only close to 70 percent while Monday it has fallen close to 40 percent".

The film also stars debutant Shazahn Padamsee with famous anchor/actor Gauhar Khan. Though the story revolves around the life of the salesman, but these leading ladies also have pivotal roles in the films.

Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi based distributor said, "The film has been a disappointment for the industry".

All we can say is, Ranbir has missed the opportunity to score a hatrick.
